Cali mom, I know what your saying, and agree. But this thread is about Dick's actions towards women, and what Kail, Danielle, Amber or anyone did or did not do, including Jen, does not have anything to do with his actions.

He's abusive in the game. I have no idea what he's like in real life.

If it's gameplay, what is his rationale? How exactly is treating people like this supposed to advance him in the game?

I think, personally, that live feed viewers get a sense of the real person. It seems to me that the only person who was really able to not take the game personally was Will, and even with Will, it seems that much of his behavior in the house, also translated into similar behavior in real life.

Give me some examples of people who have played games like this and it was all gameplay and their personalities didn't shine through in some way. Count Survivor, too. Who has truly been able to keep their real personality hidden? I'm really curious as to what names people may throw out.

I haven't posted yet this year..but I feel I have to say something. Thank you to whomever posted the link to the "foot up the butt" video.

I just showed my husband (who does not watch BB)the video and I asked him if he thought that Dick was being verbally threatening or abusive (sorry Woody)..he said that he thought he was and no man that he knows would ever talk to a woman like that.
Dick does not like Jen because she does not allow him to control her, and he hates that. I am amazed by Jen..she is a strong woman, but she could be afraid inside.
My dad was like that when I was younger..and when I grew older I refused to let him see that I was afraid anymore, even though I was shaking inside. Dick's behavior is tyrannical!

I am not here to change anyones opinion, just stating mine. That's why posting is great, love to get different opinions.

My point was even if he does, he doesn't act all fake and nice in front of her AFTER trashing her behind her back. People like that are very mean and petty, imo.

Actually, Lucas, it most certainly does. If the houseguests shut him down, he wouldn't be getting away with the things he's done. The HGs reactions, or lack thereof, has a lot to do with our discussions here. Cali has made some very valid points.

I don't care what Dick is like outside the house. INSIDE the house I SEE him verbally abusing women.

Also, he is a prime candidate to be kicked out by Big Brother for his behavior. We'll see what happens.

If BB was going to kick him out for his "behavior", they would've done so by now.

No...not yet. He's on the fringes of extreme behavior. Wait until he gets nominated again. Then we'll see what happens.

I think he's frustrated that he's getting older, can't "get" women like Jen... I'm sure he thinks all girls are attracted to his "cool" look. He doesn't understand that guys his age, who look the way he does make a lot of people laugh or feel sorry for him. Jen has probably been around a lot of successful/rich guys, and unless they were in a rock band, I bet none of them look like Dick does. I think he is acting out because he secretly wishes she'd be attracted to him.

Has it occured to anyone that maybe BB knows more about this man than we do? That they were aware of what he was going to do. Does any one of us know what questions were asked to the other hgs and they agreed that they could withstand any type of verbal abuse (perhaps even with examples) without freaking out?

OK, I agreed with you earlier, but no longer Cali.

I don't think "people laugh or feel sorry for him" for looking the way he does. And really, he's not old. Now, if he was 60 years and older, maybe.

Costa sorry, that is handing responsiblity to others, and deflecting from the actual problem. Again, I agree, I wish the others would step in, but again, and for the last time, it does not change any of the dozens and dozens of disgusting things he said.

Earth, what on earth does that matter. Sorry, but there is so much talk about Kail, what jen should have done, the other houseguests, now bb. Does not change Dick's behaviors.

So? Anyone remember any players from Survivor or Big Brother past that were truly able to put aside their true personality as they focused on the game?

Right, Lucas. And it's just deflecting and excusing Dick's behavior.

His behavior is wrong, no matter what anyone else does.

oops, spoke too soon Costa... sorry, but I liked Dick right away DESPITE how he looked, not BECAUSE of it... he's in my age range and sorry, none of my friends look like him... they did back in school/college, but I think he's trying to stretch his "cool" factor out a bit too much. That being said, I still like him, I'm just glad I'm not w/in spittin' range!

Earth, what on earth does that matter.

How it matters Lucas is that this could have been a pre-ordained way for Dick to act in this house. Knowing him I'm sure he bragged to them when he applied what he would do while in that house. IT IS A GAME..This game is played for just what is happening on this board, and to assume that BB didn't know before this season started in my opinion is naive.

You could be right Earth, but does not change the fact that I still find it disgusting.

you have the right to feel that way, I think it goes too far as well. I just can't accuse someone of somthing as horrendous as abuse unless I know for sure that is what this is about.
